Article Review #1

The principles of social science involve studying the human behavior and society to understand how people interact and make choices. It can be involved in fields such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, and in its own way, cybersecurity. I say cybersecurity because often, especially when it comes to battling cybercrimes, analysts must monitor and understand every move the cyber criminal chooses to make to be able to track down the vulnerability and put a stop to it. According to the article “ Identifying the Prevalence of Cybercrime in Indonesian Corporations: A Corporate Legislation Perspective” (https://cybercrimejournal.com/menuscript/index.php/cybercrimejournal/article/view/130/43) “It has been observed that cybercrime has increased in Indonesia. As a result, policymakers have enacted telematic laws to combat the increase in cybercrime and regulate the occurrence of telecommunication accidents in the country (Amin & Huda, 2021).” This shows that battling cybercrime has a direct hand in hand relation with studying cyber behaviors in order to prevent cybercrimes. This article touches on the continuous development and improvement of IT infrastructure in businesses to battle cybercrimes. When cybersecurity analysts are trying to track down the vulnerabilities in the network they have to analyze every little thing and every move made on the network just as one would in understanding people in real life. The first article selected mainly focuses on the rise of cyber crime rates increasing in Indonesia. According to the article Indonesia is at the top of the list for “Ten riskiest Countries in terms of Cybercrime Rate”. The researchers are focused on 2 main goals and these goals are the prevalence of cybercrime in Indonesian businesses and the impact of these crimes on the countries corporate laws. The studies done in this passage have mainly been based off of the cyber laws in the country of Indonesia. Researchers for this issue chose the qualitative inductive approach for the data collection of the current research because it enables the researcher to easily analyze large amounts of data collected, as the present study focuses on the prevalence of cybercrime within Indonesian corporations and the assessment of legislative rules and regulations enforced by various countries to eradicate cybercrime at the corporation level. These methods of research correlate to some of the things that I have learned from the PowerPoint presentations because they have the same ideology. Although Indonesia may not be in the best place right now, I am sure that through research and a few crack downs on vulnerabilities they will be able to
upgrade and protect these cyber victims from being harmed by cybercriminals. This would be a great help to society as a whole.
The second article I chose to write my review on is based on Saudi Arabia. The article “Cyber Security Challenges Faced by Employees in the Digital Workplace of Saudi Arabia’s Digital Nature Organization” by Dr. Vimala Venugopal Muthuswamy states “Digitalization has increased the need for businesses to safeguard their assets from cyber threats. The digital workplace is not an exception, and a lack of employee awareness and knowledge about cyber threats can make organizations susceptible to cyberattacks.” This goes hand in hand with the principles of social science as well but in a slightly more similar way. The first article related by understanding the ins and outs of the vulnerabilities but this article relates to the human understanding of the threat that is produced. With employees not having an understanding of the concept of cyberattacks and threats of that nature, they will move around blindly. Employees who have no regard for cyber safety will open any email which could be a potential phish attack or click any link which could lead to the computer to be infected with worms. When working in a computer based environment everyone should have an idea of the cyber threats presented links directly with the principles of social science. In this article researchers studied various aspects such as the level of cyber security awareness among Saudi Arabian business employees. His research found that even though users had a general concept of the idea of cyber risks they did not get the proper training and guidance before hand from employers which is what led to so many cyber issues. Many employees were apparently “oblivious” of most risks and vulnerabilities associated with their online work. A lot of the research in this passage was direct research accumulated through direct companies and employers that worked for computer based companies. This research involves gathering information and calculating it through percentages. Overall cyber crimes are a big concern to the world and should be cracked down. In order to do this, people and companies will have to implement the principles of social science and get a understanding of what this issue actually is and how big it can get. We should all be extremely mindful in understanding how to go about almost everything we do.
